Aliexpress Marketplace practices, be for warned.

I would like the audiophile community to know that Aliexpress will not stand to help buyers from vendor fraud of products purchased off of their website.  I recently order fake Audioquest cables from [Vipeos - HiFi Store] and was denied my cancellation even though placed  within a 24 hour period.  They promises no charges will post before shipping happens but as a fact my credit card was posted a charge within 12 hours.  Expected delivery time is about 2 weeks but still the vendor refuses to stop shipment and refund my card.  They rather I receive, send back, and ultimately get credit vs cash back.  So be aware of this type of practices Aliexpress is allowing to happen within their commerce market place.

20-25 transactions on Aliexpress over the past 3-4 years and never a problem. Quite happy with all the purchases. Just made another order yesterday for some tubes. Different strokes for different folks I guess.......

Just received another product from Ali,  the LHY SW-6.  I received it in less than a week.  

Same vendor , purchases were a month apart and both were received in a week.

I bought Viborg and Choseal cables from AliExpress a few years ago, and everything went smoothly. The sellers also answered all my questions.

I also had a good experience with a Chinese supplier. I purchased,  Furutech Flagship a-36 cable from a supplier here in the States & was curious if the Chinese cable was the same. This was a little time consuming, but patience comes with age. The U.S. companies price was 10x the price of the Chinese cable. In the end, there was NO difference between the two cables.

I too have had good experiences ordering from AliExpress.  No hiccups whatever  in payment, receipt or condition of the items.  My last order arrived in 8 days.

I have not tried to cancel an order right after I placed it.
